Steve Jobs is back, baby, but not everyone at Apple is so thrilled about it.

The 54-year-old legendary Apple honcho returned from a liver transplant in June and has reportedly thrown himself full-time into the nitty gritty development and marketing of Apple’s hotly anticipated new touch-screen gadget.

People have “had to readjust” to his return after having lost the “freedom on strategy and products” they once enjoyed during Jobs' abscence, a person described as "familiar with the matter" told the Journal.

Another employee told the paper that people who have been working on advertising and marketing for the secret project have been under particularly “intense scrutiny” from Jobs.

A source also revealed that Jobs had shelved the project twice in recent years over battery life and memory concerns. Analysts expect the tablet to have video and gaming capability and possibly allow users to read e-books and newspapers, according to the Journal.
